Indian Heiresses in the Territory Demand White Bride Ties
Dawes commissioner Tams Bixby explains there may be about 3000 eligible Indian heiresses in the Indian Territory worth up to 8000 dollars each. A white man must join a tribe and pay a marriage fee, with Choctaw and Chickasaw routes offering different costs. For a share of lands totaling millions, a groom must live among tribal members while allotments are finalized, then lands become saleable later. Meanwhile, Bixby notes the five tribes total about 65,000 people with average wealth around 5900 dollars per person and large tracts of land. In San Francisco a separate shooting incident injures sailors and claims two lives at a Pacific Street saloon.
